The Tea Party

Last Saturday Jake went to a birthday party for his friend, Nora Bella. The theme of the party was a tea party and all of the kids were supposed to come in their Sunday best. Of our group of friends, there is only one other boy Jake's age, and Jackson couldn't come to the party so it was just Jake with all of the girls. Lindsey did a fabulous job with the party and had little tables and chairs set up for the kids with tea pots on each table. She made little quiches, mini peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and pistachio sugar cookies shaped as little shoes. The kids had milk as their "tea." Amazingly enough, the kids (all under two except the newly two birthday girl) sat and ate and pretended to have tea. I will say the girls all did a much better job than Jake who tended to bang the tea set instead of drink out of it. Jake also table hopped and sat with several different girls at the party. I think he has the right idea :) I promise when he gets bigger I won't let him go to any other tea parties, but this was too cute to resist.

Jake drinking his "tea"--granted most of it ended up on his tie instead of in his mouth

Jake and Claire having tea--he was telling her something really important here.

Jake and Harper--If I made this black and white and took out the car in the background, it could be the 1920s...so cute!
